Simple Ways to Protect Yourself from COVID-19

There is no vaccine available for COVID-19 yet. So, the only thing you can do now is protect yourself from getting infected from COVID-19 disease in the first place. Here are some simple ways to do it:

• Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak
• Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with soap or an alcohol-based hand wash
• Avoid touching your nose, mouth or eyes as much as possible
• Maintain at least 1 meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people (6 feet is better)
• Cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze
• Stay home if you feel unwell
• Avoid traveling especially if you are an older person or have diabetes, heart or lung disease
• Wear a mask while traveling, especially if you feel sick
